A Slave to Sin No More – v2

I am freed from my past
the shackles of this life
by the blood shed on Calvary
the sacrifice of Christ
Putting on the weight
the oppressive weight of my sin
Freeing me ever
redeeming me from the pit
I rise from the grave
from eternal damnation
the wages of sin, no more,
saved from certain death

A slave to sin no more
able to face God, righteous,
to come before my Maker
to rise from my knees
a smile upon my face
To run to my Lord, my Father
knowing His arms are open
a beloved child, me,
of the Creator of the universe.
All that was, is, and shall be
redeeming me, even me.
